Go to your well-ventilated area and position your makeshift drying rack (I used an old shopping cart as my rack).

Open the Plasti Dip.

Basically, all you need to do is follow the directions on the packaging which says to insert whatever it is you want to coat at a rate of 5 seconds for every inch until fully submerged and then remove it at the same rate.

Dip your creature and then hang it to dry upside down by the excess wire. Be careful not to get any of the Plasti Dip on you when it's wet (if you do, wash off immediately).

Leave it for thirty minutes and then come back and dip it a second time. Leave it again for thirty minutes.

When you come back next, cut off the extra wire. Carefully wrap this extra wire around the opposite end of the figure and dip it so that it only covers the little spot you just made by removing the wire from the foot.

Let it sit for 4 hours.
